The buzzword in prophecy circles over the past year has been CONVERGENCE. Never have so many prophetic signs been visible at one time.
While on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached Jesus and asked Him, "What are the signs of your coming and the end of the age?" (Matthew 24:3). Jesus replied by giving them a list of signs and events to look for, such false prophets, earthquakes, wars, and desecration of the Temple. But Jesus said once they see one sign in particular, they should “look up” because redemption draws near. Fast forward almost two thousand years, and our generation is witness to the #1 sign Jesus said to look for. So what is it?
Convergence
That’s right. The #1 sign is not a single sign, but the convergence of all the signs Jesus, Moses, and the Old Testament prophets said to look for. Jesus said, “When you see all these things occur, look up. For your salvation is near!” (Luke 21:28). Note that Jesus didn’t say, “When you see one or two of these signs.” He said, “When you see all these signs.” In other words, the convergence of all the signs He spoke of are what we should be looking for.
The Converging Signs
“There's a great deal to say in the Bible about the signs we’re to watch for and when these signs all converge at one place we can be sure that we're close to the end of the age. And those signs, in my judgment, are converging now for the first time since Jesus made those predictions.” —Billy Graham, World Net Daily, 10/20/2013
Our generation is unique among all those before us because we see the convergence of the signs Jesus and the prophets said to look for. Here are just a few:

Remember, NO MAN KNOWS the day or hour...BUT...Jesus made it very clear that if we are paying attention we WILL NOT BE SURPRISED when He comes to snatch his bride from this fallen, Satan filled and perverted world.
Even Billy Graham recognizes that for the FIRST TIME, since Jesus made those predictions, all the signs are converging.
Please remember that the RAPTURE is a sign-less event...we just know that it precedes the 2nd Coming at at least 7 years.
Are we ready to meet our Lord in the air? Are we excited that the Bridegroom could be coming for us at any hour? Are we living our lives with anticipation? Are we sober? Are we awake? Are we ready to explain to our Savior what we have done for the Kingdom since he saved us?
